"Victoria?" Finnicks voice echoed from down the stairs startled me a bit as I come back into reality. The hot tears streamed down my face.
I remember.
With the note in my hand I walk out the door and stand at the very top of the stairs, as I slowly walk down them I can see Finnick Messing around with the kitchen utensils just like he would before.
He doesn't seem to notice me as He is concentrating on the cook book before him.
I stare at this man, my man, my everything, my best friend, my lover, my life.
I can't speak, I don't say anything as I stand there with tears streaming down my face, I can barley make it out but I manage. "Promise me, Promise me this is forever." I could hear my own voice crack a bit as Finnick widen his eyes and turns to me. His eyes glance down at the note and back up to my teary red eyes.
He parts his lips as his face is filled with recognization, "Always." He says as his own eyes become teary.
"I r-remember fin." I mutter as I run over to him and he begins to take steps towards me just as I crash into his arms, he twirls me around as he chuckles a bit and we both cry in each other's arms. I could feel him shake a bit.
"I thought you'd never remember. I thought you were gone Vic.." I shake my head quickly and pull back to wipe the tears that ran down his face, "shhhh no baby, I'm here. It's me. I remember. I remember everything." I say and smile through my tears.
"Im never letting you go again vic, I can't- I can't be without you again. I'm so sorry." His voice is weak as his eyes were full of sorrow.
I brush strands of his dirty blonde hair back and shake my head, "shhh it's okay, I forgive you, I love you"
He smiles softly as suddenly his lips are met with mine like magnets. The feeling of pure love, my heart was pounding out of my chest as I was filled with so much joy, butterflies filled my stomach as The kiss was passionate and loving.
Once we broke away we both laugh a bit and press our foreheads against each other's. I take in his presence that I never realized how much I truly needed.
"I love you most" his soothing voices speaks out as we both can't help but smile at each other.
~
The cool salty breeze brushes against my skin, the sand between my toes calms me as Finnick holds my hand.
I look out upon the distant waters, water upon water. It was so nice, peaceful. I smile at Finnick as he and I make eye contact occasionally and he leads me down the beach further.
He rubs his thumb against my hand as he walks and suddenly we stop.
I could hear the sea gulls call from a distance and the sunset was perfect, mix of orange, purple, pinks.
Looking out I tuck my hair behind my ear before he turns to face me, "Vic." He speaks out.
I look over at him as he squeezes the hand he was holding and we stand there.
His eyes filled with passion, love.
"From the moment I met you, the moment I laid my eyes on you, I knew I had to make you mine. I've watched you become an amazing woman. I've watched you fall, fail, but every-time you get back up, you inspire me to become a better person, you guide me, love me, for every flaw I may have and I shall do the same until the day I take in my last breath. I promise to hold your hand to the ends of the earth, wipe every tear that may shed from your eyes, kiss every broken piece you may have. Love every weakness you may have. Cherish our good times and love your bad times. I will never let you go again, let another moment between us go Un-cherished, For we may never know when it will be the last-
Victoria Grace, will you do me the honors, in becoming Mrs. Odair."
He says just as he gets on one knee he pulls out a silky black ring case, he opens it just to show a beautiful silver ring, the small silver diamonds sparkle as in the middle is a green crystal.
He knows how much I love green.
I was speechless, I look down upon the ring just to look back up and I smile as a tear falls from my eye, "y-yes. Yes! Yes fin yes I will marry you! Yes yes yes!" I say just as he chuckles and smiles a hearty smile and he takes the delicate ring and puts it around my finger.
It fit perfectly, I move it around to watch it glistening to the very faint sunset and I look back up at Finnick as I practically jump
On him he catches me and spins me around, he then carries me bridal style as he chuckles, "we should head back my love" he softly states.
I had forgotten, just for a few hours, I had forgotten about the revolution, district thirteen, Gage. For a few hours it was just Finnick and I, the best few hours of my life.
I'll get to do that for the rest of my life. As I plan to. I won't let that go.
I won't let this ๐๐.
~
On the way back to district thirteen I couldn't help but admire the ring Finnick had given me, he'd chuckle to himself as he watched me in awe of it.
"I told you vic, I told you you'd be my wife someday." He says as his handsome face leans towards mine I softly smile as I kiss his soft lips.
"I have one more surprise for you when we get back" and with that he winks and stands up to go help the other guys in the air craft situate things.
I lean my head against the metal wall and smile to myself, I was going to marry Finnick, I remember Finnick, but what about Gage?
My mind wonders around, what will he think of this. Surely I couldn't be the only one that felt as though the connection wasn't there anymore. What we had was Young love, we're older now. We must move on and find only friendship.
~
I stand up as we land and the wall of the door that leads us out opens. The bright light consumes me a bit as I readjust to it I look over to see an older woman, she smiled brightly at me and I gasped.
Mags.
I run off the platform and into her arms, "calm child, you almost knocked me over" she says while she laughs.
I smile brightly at her, "where were you! Are you okay??" I ask a bit insistent and she smiles and nods as she takes both my hands.
"Yes child, your friends from thirteen picked me up and took me here to be safe. I heard about your misfortune-" before she said another word her finger grazed to feel my ring. She looked down and I saw a shimmer in her eye as she looks upon it. "You remember don't you" she says as she smiles warmly at me.
I almost tear up as I slowly nod and with that she sighs in relief and hugs me tightly. "It must have been so difficult for you. All of it. You've been through so much Victoria."
"But it's not the end yet. There's still so much to do, to end these games" I simply say as she nods and squeezes my hand.
"Indeed sadly so. But make the most of it before it's too late." Her words confused me as her eyes wonder to a gleaming Finnick. I could help but admire how childish he looked, he was happy, something I haven't seen in so long just before he and I make eye contact.
I watch Johanna beam when she looks down at my finger to see the ring. She gave me a thumbs up in my remembrance. I smile softly at her as she winks.
I'm to be married, the wife of Finnick. If something was to happen in this revolution I'd want to make sure he was my husband.
From now til forever.
~
"Congratulations" Katniss voices to me when we set our trays down upon the table.
Johanna rushes over and sits next to me before Finnick can and she sticks her tongue out, "haha sore loser!" She says as Finnick rolls his eyes, "may I please sit next to my fiancรฉ" he asks in a formal tone as Johanna makes a gaging noise, "ew we get it love birds, she remembers and y'all are back to being madly in love. Maybe I liked it better when she didn't remember I wouldn't have to deal with all this love crap" I giggle at her words they were very sarcastic just as how Johanna is and I catch Katniss grinning a bit as well.
"How's peeta." I simply ask to Katniss and she shrugs, "better. I guess. I'm happy you and Finnick are back and okay but Peeta seems to truly have more damage. As the capital didn't erase me but made me look bad"
I nod, "it's okay, that would have been me with Finnick if I didn't piss off some rapist in the capital. He wasn't suppose to erase my memory just do the same thing they did to Peeta with me." I simply say and everyone looks up from their meals
"Vic-" Johanna begins to say and I try to softly smile
"It's fine Johanna, I'm here now aren't I. Everything's okay now." I simply say as my hand sneaks over to finnicks and he grips it as he rubs his thumb against the back of my hand.
We chatted for awhile until I noticed Gage, his green eyes upon our table. I've tried ignoring him but I'll have to tell him. If he hadn't already noticed.
"Now try not to fuck in the elevators you two, I know how tempting it is" Johannas voice rings out and I giggle, "oh yes it's not my fault though! Finnick can't keep his hands of of me" I say and Finnick gasps a bit as Katniss giggles as well.
"I can't help but stare mostly, your beauty is incomparable to most" with those words I blush a bit as Johanna rolls her eyes, "ugh I'm going to be sick." She says just as I stop smiling, I myself began to feel. Sickened.
But why?
"I'm sorry I-" I quickly stood up from the table and rushed out, just in time to the bathroom before I threw up what I had just eaten. I furrow my eyebrows and have this painful stirring in my stomach.
What the hell.
I suddenly hear the door open expecting a girl I end up seeing Finnick.
"Vic are you okay?" He asks and I almost say something just to be sick again, he comes behind me and feeds his fingers through my hair pulling it out of my face. "It's okay vic"
Once I was finished being sick I sigh, "what was that?" I ask as he shrugs and puts a strand of my hair behind my ear.
"I don't know, maybe something you ate?" He asks and I shake my head, "no it was different.." I simply say and shrug it off. "I'm sorry" I say and he chuckles.
"Hey, I told you I'd be there no matter the best or worst of times love." He simply says as he pulls me into a tight hug. I stay in his arms feeling safe and warm as I could still feel a bit of pain radiate from my stomach.
~
I found it, the rooftop. Finnick was sent to Plutarch so I decided to go exploring. I close my eyes as I take in the air, sadly nothing like District four. I glanced at the ring and felt warmth inside. I had been sick for the rest of the evening.
What was going on.
"Hey."
I heard a mans voice, but not any man, Gage.
Turning around I see him walk up beside me, he looks out upon the ruble. "Congratulations vic." He says and I know exactly what he means.
"The news is all over, that there is to be a wedding. In the next two days correct" he says as I look out and nod.
"Yes, Gage I-" he interrupts me and shrugs.
"No need to try to explain. You could never look at me, the way you look at him. At least. Not anymore" he says but he was right. Not anymore.
"Gage, we had been through so much together when we were younger, maybe we aren't meant to be in the end but, I still want you as my best friend." I say as I glance over into his green eyes that were saddened.
"It's okay vic, I always knew I wouldn't be able to make you feel the way he does. Give you what you deserve. I love you Victoria and I always will, like I've said before, in whatever lifetime or world I will find you and I will always protect you. With that, even if it means letting you go and protecting you from a distance." I graze his hand and squeeze it gently as a tear runs down my face.
"Thank you Gage." With that I lean up on my tippy toes to kiss his cheek in a friendly gesture.
I then lead myself out and just before I open the door I turn back to him, "I love you too" with those words I walk out and leave him on the rooftop.
It made me sad, but I knew who I belonged with now, it will always and forever be Finnick.
~
I gasp as I awaken from another dream and Finnick grips me tightly as I fall into his arms I cry. "Shhh Vic it's okay, you're okay" he says as I try to regain myself.
Another dream, I nudge my head into his shoulder as tears stream down my face.
"I'm a murderer.." I barley make out just as Finnick runs his fingers through my hair, "no vic, you're not. You're a survivor." He mutters to me as I then feel the sickness stir once more.
I quickly get out of his embrace as I run into the restroom I open the lid and continue to be sick. I felt finnicks fingers once more through my hair lifting it out of my face.
Why am I so sick all of sudden. I think and once I'm finished Finnick pulls me back to him as I sob into his shoulder, "what's wrong with me fin" I hold him tightly as he caressed my shoulder and back trying to comfort me.
"Let's get this checked out." He says as he pulls to look at me in the eyes, his sea green eyes pull me in and calm me as I nod slowly, he gives me his dashing, soft smile as he kisses my cheek gently, "it'll be okay"
I melt within his arms as I begin to calm from his soothing voice and his comfort.
~
"What are your symptoms Miss Grace? Or well. Mrs. Odair." She says as a middle age woman, with blonde hair shows and smiles at me.
I smile back, I know her, she's the mother of Katniss.
"I'm sick, very sick, randomly, it can't be something I ate because I get this pain in my stomach like a push or I don't know. It's hard to explain. Please help." I say with worry in my eyes, "I need to be healthy to go on the mission. And even get married!" I say as she nods and giggles.
"Well let's find out shall we, I have an idea to what it maybe though" she says with amusement in her eyes.
After she does various tests she asks for Finnick to step out and he does so wearily though.
She turns to me and gives me a bright smile.
"You're pregnant." She simply says as I raise my eyebrows in shock. But Finnick and I haven't done it. Not recently, the only way is- Gage. That one night.
I widen my eyes as I look at her a bit pained, "what's wrong dear? isn't that good?"
"Please don't tell anyone, I need to go on this mission." She opens her mouth to protest but she sighs.
"Be careful, we'll have check ups. Now go tell your fiancรฉ" she still couldn't figure out why I was down about it. But if she knew why she'd understand.
I walk out of the hospital room as Finnick greets me, "what happened?? What was it?"
I look down from his eyes and then back into those amazing green eyes, "I- I'm pregnant Finnick."
With those words I could see joy and excitement but then I could see the pain. He knew we hadn't since before we got in the arena.
Which meant it wasn't his, he knew it was Gage.
He pulled me into a hug tightly as he comforted me. "It's okay vic. I know. You didn't remember me after all. It's not your fault."
He cups my face in his hands as a tear runs down my cheek and he brushes it away and smiles, "I'll still treat it like my own. I may not be biological but I'll treat that little girl or boy just as though I was the father. Because I am. And one day we'll have one of our own." He says as his own tears fall and I can't help but giggle through the pain.
"I'm so sorry. I just. I love you Finnick." He nods and kisses me tenderly and pulls me into another tight hug.
"I know vic, I know you do, it's okay, we'll be okay, I'm here no matter what." His soothing voice rings out as I close my eyes upon his grasp and I hold onto him tightly.
That one night, I'm pregnant now. But not with finnicks child. He's so strong and doesn't realize it. He'd treat this baby as his own. I am filled with so much emotion. But what I do know is I love this man with all my heart.
That I would go to the ends of the earth To be with him. To love him.
This child that I hold I will also love and cherish, even if it's not Finnicks.
We may not be perfect parents, but we will sure help them survive any ๐ ๐๐๐ค they may ๐๐๐๐.
